LOADSMART/LOADSMART AI/TENDER FAILURES

Meet the AI Agents:
Tender Failures

When a carrier rejects a tender or lets it time out, the agent re-tenders down your routing guide and re-books the next eligible carrier — inside a cost ceiling that stops the fallback from costing more than the miss.

What just happened

A carrier fell through on a next-day load. Loadsmart AI worked down your routing guide, re-tendered until it re-covered at contract, and kept the dock appointment — a rejected tender never became a scramble on your desk.

Every fallback has a cost ceiling.

Automating a fallback only helps if the fallback doesn’t cost more than the miss did. Every fallback rate is capped at a set ceiling above the anchor rate and checked against live market benchmarks before it books. Your ranking holds too: a carrier you already contracted beats a slightly cheaper one further down the guide.

What the agent does

Works your routing guide in seconds, inside a cost ceiling.

01

Detects the miss

Catches a rejection or a timeout the moment it happens.

02

Re-tenders down the guide

Moves to the next eligible rate and tenders again, repeating down the guide until a carrier accepts.

03

Cleans up behind it

Drops the rejected carrier from the shipment, cancels the dock or pickup appointment already booked, and re-covers the load under the new carrier.

04

Holds rather than guesses

If no eligible fallback exists inside the guardrail, the load is held for review instead of covered at any price.

What changes

What your team stops doing. And what that’s worth.

Recovery before the miss reaches you

A five-minute retender instead of a half-day scramble that ends in an overpaid spot load.

Your routing guide gets used the way you built it

Negotiated rates get used in the order you ranked them, on every load, at every hour.

Fallbacks stop inflating spend

The rate that covers the load is one you would have approved yourself.

Runs on your stack

Nothing to rip out. Nothing to migrate.

Your existing systems stay your system of record. Loadsmart becomes your system of action — the work runs on the Loadsmart Platform and the outcome is written back where your team already looks for it.
